ASC-29320A IG.fm Page 1 Tuesday, July 29, 2003 3:30 PM Introduction The Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A enables you to connect up to 15 Low Voltage Differential (LVD) and/or 15 Single-Ended (SE) SCSI devices—such as very large arrays of high-performance hard disk drives, external storage subsystems, Ultra320/160 hard disk drives, scanners, and CD-ROM drives—to any Intel-based computer with 64- or 32-bit PCI/PCI-X expansion slots. The Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A has one internal and one external 6

ASC-29320A IG.fm Page 3 Tuesday, July 29, 2003 3:30 PM Computers may have vertical or horizontal expansion slots. Refer to your computer manual to locate the PCI/PCI-X slots. If your computer is a tower model, lay it on its side to allow for easier installation of the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A. Warning: Be careful when inserting the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A in a PCI slot. Some 32-bit slots will not accommodate it, and the card may break if you force it into the slot. 4 Insert the Adaptec

ASC-29320A IG.fm Page 4 Tuesday, July 29, 2003 3:30 PM Following are some guidelines for setting SCSI IDs and termination on your devices. Check the SCSI IDs The Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A and each device you connect to it must have a unique SCSI ID number ranging from 0 to 15 on each channel. No two devices on the same SCSI channel can have the same SCSI ID. The Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A is preset to ID 7 for each channel and should not be changed. If you boot from a SCSI hard disk, make

ASC-29320A IG.fm Page 5 Tuesday, July 29, 2003 3:30 PM Connecting Internal Ultra320/160 and Ultra2 Devices A special 68-pin internal LVD cable is needed to connect internal Ultra320/160 or Ultra2 SCSI devices. If your cables are not marked, you can identify most LVD cables as having twisted pairs of the flat ribbon cable between the device connectors. Some cables are laminated so that they lay flat. Internal LVD cables usually have a terminator built into the end of the cable. The Adapte

ASC-29320A IG.fm Page 7 Tuesday, July 29, 2003 3:30 PM Connecting Wide SCSI Devices Connect internal Wide SCSI devices to the 68-pin internal SE Wide SCSI connector. To do this, use a 68-pin Wide SCSI cable like the one shown in Step 1 below. Follow these steps to connect the devices: 1 Locate a 68-pin internal Wide SCSI cable. 2 Plug one end of the cable to the Wide SCSI connector on the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A. 3 Plug the other end of the cable to a terminated Ultra/Fast Wide SCSI d

If you are installing only one external device, terminate the device and skip to Step 4. SCSI terminator 3 Connect the other external SCSI devices by linking each device to the previous one, as shown below. Terminate only the device at the end of the chain. 4 Connect power cables to all external device(s) and to the computer.

ASC-29320A IG.fm Page 10 Tuesday, July 29, 2003 3:30 PM More Information About Termination The last SCSI device on the end of each SCSI bus cable must be terminated, and termination must be disabled for all other devices in the middle of the cables. Ultra320/160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices are automatically unterminated, but Ultra SCSI and Fast/Wide SCSI devices do have termination that you must check. For more information, refer to the documentation for each SCSI device. If you are using ex
